Texas Tech University Top Questions

it is a great school in a great community. THe community is very supportive of the University & its students. Texas Tech is rich in tradition & really takes care of its current students as well as former students,the professors are readily available & there are plenty of tutorials available.

I think Tech is great. There is a lot of school pride.

Texas Tech University has a beautiful campus that is easy to get use to. You always meet someone different everyday. Everyone is friendly and nice. The campus is huge and does take some time to walk to different classes so when picking out your schedule you have to know what buildings are where because if you don't you'll be late! It's funny because when I tell people that I go to Tech the first thing that comes to mind is Bobby Knight. Yes, he was the head coach for the basketball team but this year he decided to step down and let his son take over coaching. Of course to people who go to other universities have a bit of a cold shoulder when I tell them I go to Tech but then again, I do the same thing when they tell me they go somewhere else. It's a little school rivalry! When on campus, everyone usually goes to the SUB (student union building) it has a lot of stores and different places to eat. It's a place to hang out and chill with friends between classes. Personally, I love Tech but Lubbock is a town you have to get use to and explore the good qualities that it has. LOL. I'm still trying to find good things about Lubbock but it pretty much is a college town since half of it's population are students. Tech doesn't have much controversy...but if you watch the news, there was a talk about students making game day shirts that where banned. Then again, it's all been about school rivalry. Everyone has a lot of school pride...I know everyone is proud to be a Red Raider and know when to show "Guns up!" Around the campus at Tech, there is a lot of noticable creative art that is displayed. I think it makes the campus much more interesting to read the history and look at.

Tech is a big school it covers a large amount of land so there is a lot of walking from class to class. It isn't bad that it's large but it can get annoying from time to time. The only thing that people really associate TTU with is Bobby Knight and now that he's gone there isn't any kind of interest grabbing thing about TTU. I spend the majority of my time in the Human Sciences Building, which has a great program but they are getting screwed on funding, but I guess our football team that sucks needs all the high end stuff over the actual educational things needed on campus. There is some school pride but we are usually marked as the "unsportsman like behavior" school. If anyone can recall the Vick 'em t-shirts which never should have been pulled from production. The were not the most tasteful things but thats the style of TTU. The STD rate stuidly high here and thats pretty nasty. I guess one of the biggest problems is the weather in Lubbock. It is hot one day and snowing the next. There are wicked hail storms and some days the sky is brown because it is so windy and there is so much dirt.

I think Tech is fine the way it is. I think they could get better teachers in the science department, you know teacher that actually know how to teach and communicate information so that the dumbest person in the room will understand, but outside of that this school rocks. We have the support of Lubbock in everything we do. Lubbock isnt even a college town. Lubbock's economy is fine without the college but they make themselves a college town because they support their students. We have the best and rudest fans ever. We love to talk trash here and we do it well. There are a ton of small town sheltered people who come here so if you a liberal, watch out because you will be opposed. That's west Texas as a whole though. Also race relations arent that great. People love to believe the stereotype out here that makes life if you a person of any color extremely annoying. The number one complaint is that Lubbock is a dry county. Gotta love being the largest college in the United states, in terms of land mass.

Tech is so much fun. The football and basketball games are absolutely amazing and the entire school and alot of the city are all about the football game that day. Lubbock is just the right size. It is not a big city, but there is still so much to do that you most likely would not do if you live in San Antonio, Dallas, or Houston.

I think that Texas Tech is the perfect size and in the perfect location.

texas tech is a kick ass school the only problem is that it is located in a town full of squares if you are a student lubbock is cool when school is going on but when we leave it can get a little depressing. i wouldn't say we have a lot of school pride but we do get on the defensive if we get shots from schools who if not equal are worse like texas and texas a&m. nothing is really that unusual about texas tech it is a fun school. the experience i will remember is when we had the ultimate pool party at university courtyard(off campus housing) it was beyond awesome. the most common complaint is that the school is too big and walking is a big part of your day

Texas Tech is by far THE BEST CHOICE! Lubbock is pretty much centered around Texas Tech which makes a great atmosphere. The people here are very friendly and Tech is constantly stiving to improve every aspect the school has to offer.

the best thing about tech is the the people. everyone is very friendly
